A 'patch' is a piece of code that is used to alter the original software. This may be to correct a fault in the software (known as a bug), for example.
To answer your question, then, you cannot play a game patch as it is not the full game. Just a portion of it.

I have already installed the original Diablo 2 so I tried to install the expansion set but when it opened it said that Diablo 2 had to be installed first how do I fix it so that I can install it?
One thing to try is to make sure that you installed the original game in it's default path. Because the expansion looks down the default path and if it doesn't see the original game there, it assumes the original is not yet installed. This may be the reason, I can not be positive though.

How do you get a patch off a comptur game?
Most computer games cannot have patches removed without completely re-installing the product. For World of Warcraft, not only would you have to reinstall the game, you also cannot play unless your game has the latest patch installed. If a game does allow a patch to be removed (like mods and user-generated content with Oblivion) there is usually an option in the game's launcher to enable or disable certain content or patches.
